Midtown Reader & the Piebrary

Midtown Reader was a great experience! The people there are super nice and friendly, once you enter, you feel completely welcomed! The details from the floor to the wallpaper are just beautiful. Even the bathroom has wallpaper with books and actual authors have signed it! The books they have here are very good reads for all kinds of age groups! Loved this place and I recommend it to anyone that is in the area!

This store is too cute! The staff is friendly and super helpful and if they don't have what you are looking for in stock they will order it. My only qualm is the PRICES. They are WAY TO expensive. Like double Amazon prices! I try to buy a few books a year from them but I can't afford to shop there more than that. There is a cheaper book store in Thomasville the Bookshelf and of course Amazon. Also the used bookstore My Favorite Books which is local and also cheaper.... Not to mention the local library where you can just rent books. That's why they lose 1 star. Just too pricey. Sorry y'all. Try being more competitive with your prices!

An independent bookstore staffed by people who love their work. Wide selection of fiction, an inspiring collection of Florida authors, and the best offerings for children, guaranteed to make loyal customers for life. And oh yes, those cupcakes! Come for one of their many in-store events or check out the listings of community-based specials.

Ample parking. Very clean and neat. Incredible service. Excellent selection and knowledgeable recommendations. Fair prices with some sales. Free gift wrapping included with purchase! Comfy seats. The only independent (new books) bookstore in Tallahassee afaik. I recommend it.

Who doesn't love a good book store? Midtown Reader is beautiful! I enjoy supporting great local businesses, and before Midtown Reader opened, I often genuinely missed browsing around a small bookstore and finding something new to read. Amazon/online stores are great if you know exactly what you want, but I enjoy a lazy weekend perusing shelves and stumbling across something unexpected. The staff is very nice and helpful at Midtown Reader, which makes the shopping experience a pleasure. They are great at giving suggestions when needed. My husband and I like to give books as gifts, and the staff at Midtown Reader have not steered us wrong yet, when helping us choose for "hard to shop for" family members. If you haven't checked it out yet, you need to!

Wonderful and friendly staff. Not full service only because I’d like to see a broader selection of books.

Great collection of books. They have everything from children's books, to biographies, to cookbooks. I was looking for a South Asian cookbook, and while they didn't have what I needed in stock, the staff were very helpful in guiding me to their cookbook section and offering to order what I needed since they didn't have it in the store.

Great local book store with the Lucy and Leo’s Cupcakery inside of it. They’ll order books for you and there are squishy chairs upstairs for your reading pleasure. They have a great collection adults, youth and children.

So special to have an independent bookstore with owners and staff who love books! Sally the owner had a long convo with us about her recent favorite books, and I found new stuff I’m excited to try. Made my day. You can’t get that on Amazon!

A great little bookstore with a nice selection of books, including a whole section of Florida books and another with books by local authors. Also some cards and gifts and an excellent coffee shop upstairs.
